Abstract
PEGylation is a crucial process for decorating the surface of liposomes with polyethylene glycol (PEG) for clinical use. This process endows the liposomes extended circulation time and improved stability in vivo. The post-insertion method is one of the well-established techniques for PEGylation. This method requires only one-step incubation to accomplish the transfer of PEGylated lipids from PEGylated lipid-based micelles into the membranes of preformed liposomes.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
